I put in an order for copy paper and toner for my work-at-home self-employment. Office Depot repeatedly messed up my order. They kept trying to deliver 1 ream of paper instead of 1 case (with 6 reams). I called and sent emails and was able to keep the incorrectly delivered lone reams at no extra charge, due to the hassle they caused me.

Sabotaged by Dani Pettrey is book five in a series of Alaskan courage fictional stories. This book involves two main characters, Kirra and Reef. The relationship between these two characters is explored through a variety of stressful and everyday situations.

This is Christian fiction but it's not overly preachy or even too obvious that it's Christian in nature. This would be a fun book to lose yourself in on a lazy summer day as you imagine being in the cold north. It would also make a good read for a cold winter day when you just don't want to get off the couch. Grab a mug of hot chocolate, a warm blanket, get your cat on your lap and you'll be all set with this book to read.

This Is What You Just Put in Your Mouth? by Patrick Di Justo is a consumer guide about everyday products that most of us use. Some of the ingredients in everyday products are just bizarre. Who would have known that Noxema contains pork derivatives, for example?

This informative book is well-written. It's in language that anyone can understand. Complex chemical names are explained so that even if you didn't have years of general and organic chemistry, you can still understand what's going on.

This would be a great book to bring along while traveling or a good book to keep in your bag for those times when you have a spare ten minutes. Each chapter is short and tells a complete story.

God Bless My Boo Boo by Hannah C. Hall and illustrated by Steve Whitlow is a board book for little ones about how to take care of a variety of boo boos. The aches and pains include toothache, cuts and scrapes.

What I liked the most about this book was that it covers everything from vaccines to toothaches, which are all something kids are likely to experience. This book seems like it would be durable even for a rough baby or toddler to handle.

The illustrations are cute and feature baby animals with their mommies, although the animals are presented in a neutral way, so maybe there are some daddies in there too.

This would be a great book to put into the diaper bag and bring along to the doctor's office or to read at home before a sick visit or vaccination.
